What does Self-realization and enlightenment mean?
The real Self is full of infinite bliss and knowledge. To realize this Self is called Self-realization. The constant spiritual awareness of “I am the pure Soul” in itself is Self-realization. And the same means enlightenment.
Self-realization is beyond the physical realm and physical science. It’s the spiritual dimension that leads to Self-realization. Through this knowledge of Self, one is able to get rid of their physical problems, mental anxieties, and moreso the inner enemies of anger, pride, deceit and greed.
Does it happen by learning and experiencing or through intuition?
One can attai
Self-realization only through the grace of a living enlightened Spiritual Master (Gnani). He has the divine spiritual powers to establish us in the inner awareness of, ‘I am pure Soul’; the conviction of which never leaves thereafter!
Through such a Spiritual Master, one attains Self-realization without any physical effort.
Today, through Akram Science, a stepless path to Self realization, one can attai
Self-realization in just 2 hours, when the Living Gnani directly puts in a scientific line of demarcation, separating the body and the Soul (Bhed-Vignan). This is called Gnan-Vidhi, wherein with the grace of Gnani, one tastes the experience of the Soul and attains the divine vision of the pure Self.
Now, let’s understand the signs of a Self-realized person…
Are you a Self-realized or enlightened person?
Let’s assess…
A Self-realized person may look like a normal worldly person on the outside; however, there is this constant spiritual awareness flaming from within. He has the inner understanding of ‘I am pure Soul.’ Therefore, one`s worries kind of banish once he’s Self-realized.
He stays with his family but is not inclined or engrossed in the sensual pleasures. His inner penance, while trying to face the worldly difficulties with equanimity, distinguishes him from a non-Self-realized person. He is clearly aware that whatever he is encountering today in life is all an effect of his past life karma, which nobody can challenge, and now these karma can be finished completely with the awareness of the Pure Soul. After Self-realization, there is no charging of new karma. One just has to deal with the present circumstances maintaining inner equanimity.
When one attains Self-realization through Akram Vignan, one also obtains the right understanding of, “who is the doer.”
There are 2 questions in this world that need to be answered:
Who am I? andr
Who is the Doer?
If these 2 questions are answered, the worldly puzzle is solved. This implies one is Self-realized, without any doubt then.
Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, the Spiritual Master says, “If one realizes his true Self, he himself is an Absolute Supreme Soul (Parmatma).”
Currently, Pujya Deepakbhai Desai is gracing spiritual seekers with Self-realization. So come, without losing more time, let’s embark on this journey to permanent bliss and ultimate freedom!

Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan used to go from town to town and country-to-country to give satsang (spiritual discourse) and impart the knowledge of the Self, as well as knowledge of harmonious worldly interactions to everyone who came to meet him. This spiritual science, known as Akram Vignan, is the step-less path to Self-realization.
